Coooos Des Grasssss

Hmmm. All nylon eh? The "barrel" wouldn't wear out from melting after the first few shots?
What about making one out of solid wood? Get a good clean chunk of some real hard wood and turn it on a lathe to 12ga shell dimensions, then drill an offset .22 hole? Hmmm...
As long as you keep a shell in the adapter, ready to go, and the adapter handy, I don't see what the fuss is about. My primary concern with a coup de gras is to finish off the animal as quickly and painlessly as possible. Fumbling around with an adapter isn't an option, but if it's quick to deploy, then go for it. I wouldn't #### around with low power loads, I'd want something that easily goes through the skull. I do recall ROss Seyfried writing about trying to finish off an elk with a 38 and self defense hollowpoints- the bullets weren't penetrating the skull much, form point blank range.
That "wood" work. I suggest tight grain, well seasoned wood. Maybe some walnut from a broken rifle stock.
I wonder if the friction of the lead bullets down the pipe would even harden the surface of the wood a bit...
It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen at first, but really, what's the worst that could happen? Biggest disaster I can imagine would just be some wasted time and splinters blown out the end of the barrel. Can't imagine a .22lr would be able to damage the shot gun...

hmmmm.. this got me thinking
12 gauge 3" insert for 22 Hornet, you would have enough lenght for about 2" of rifling, or since I have a few chunks of enfield barrel perhaps a 32-20 insert.
Needs to be short enough to cycle in the shotgun. I may build one this winter just for fun.

I like the looks of the project, I like to do projects just because I can. Even though there is commercially available options, or alternatives that obviate the need for the product. Sometimes a man just wants to build something for the sake of building something. It will be a neat experience, and who knows where it might lead? Yomomma might decide to go a step further and build a whole .38 pistol, get it certified, patented, and have it become a limited edition yomomma pistol desired by collectors everywhere, and all because he dared to dream, dared to build.
I mean, more likely he will just make his adaptor and take pride and pleasure from using something he made himself, but you never know.
Also, you have been very patient Yomomma, with everyone who has been telling you why you shouldn't make the thing you have already decided to make

If I have to deliver a kill shot to a wounded deer it is always at a safe distance 15-20ft, I approach from behind the animal and shoot to where the neck meets the body the static shock to the spinal cord is an instant kill. It is a big target and damages minimal meat in the neck. Forget stabbing or cutting the throat, too dangerous to approach a wounded deer, one kick can break a leg or arm not to mention what the antlers could do to you in a death throw.
Stay back, fire from a safe distance and no need to blow a wounded deers head off. I watched a guy in our group one year shoot a small buck in the back of the head from about 2 feet, the slug passed through and blew the deers bottom jaw out and sprayed blood all over the friggen place...was a horrible mess and unnessary. The animal derserved more respect and as the slug exited the deer it was stupid dangerous to the 4 guys standing 8 ft from the deer trying to decide how to kill it.

from 10 feet away you would have only seen scrubs and swamp grass. shooting through grass at where you thing your deer might be does not sound like a smart thing to do. chasing it through the swamp we took one of the many twists and turns and ended up with my nose being about 3 feet from its ass. That would have been the furthest you could have gotten from it without loosing sight of it.love all the experts

Love this site someone always has a better story! So be it......I suppose you jumped form your stand and speared it too
??? my stand wasn't even near the swamp! I am quite content in the knowledge that the youngster and I who tracked the deer through the swamp know what went down.
Next thread is but a few mouse clicks away, enjoy.
It's a good idea, not sure why so much resistance and negativity about it. One point that hasn't been brought up is that the sight of a deer with its head blown apart may be offensive to non hunters. Guys drop by camp to take a look, possible future hunters now turned off the sport.
It's probably a grey area. One could argue that it's not any different than a sabot slug which fires a sub-caliber bullet. I think that even if one were charged over it, you could probably defend against the charge without hiring an expensive lawyer. Alternatively, you could send pix and a description to the MNR's legal eagles for their opinion.
